Ike truly is a petulant child incapable of handling his emotions like a real man.

 

It will be a good day when he retires, the sport has no room for man babies.

 

His weigh in performance was the final straw today when you contrast that to yesterday's.

I didn’t see it but he treated Mercer very rudely in like the first or second tournament and I told him about it on X… I then unfollowed him. The dude has issues no doubt.

He didn't say a word to Mercer, Lisa, or the fans......the moment the weight was read out he walked off the stage.

 

So many young anglers watch these weigh ins, I can remember being a boy watching weigh ins.    

 

What a terrible example to set for the future of our sport.   What a complete lack of respect for the fans and folks who allow you to FISH FOR A LIVING!  

Lot of big green largemouth showing up again

Who’s leading now?

Chris Zaldain

Zaldain

Looks like about 37 # to make the cut

Who doesn't love seeing Hack getting juiced up after making a cut like that.....that's awesome, hope John Cox sneaks in as well.   

 

 

Yes , only ounces difference in making it

Did it with largemouth too , this is not a total scope fest like many thought 

The LM aspect is awesome to see, but my bet is still on the scope being the winning technique.    

 

Either way it's an interesting derby, I really have no clue who is going to win this thing, and that's always fun.  

 

ETA:  A friend of mine recently won the MLF Invitational there scoping with a Sakamata Shad

That’s appalling.

 

I was never a big fan of his antics or on camera nonsense but I had also never met him in person either.

 

Don’t need to now.

The waves had it looking like Deadliest catch out there! Lots of good anglers definitely in the mix.

Looks like BASS once again scheduled back to back events here so the top 10 in this event are going to miss out on a pre fishing day next week at the St Lawrence. This is now the second time this has happened this season.

Maybe a first time elite winner in this one. I believe only a couple elite wins in the top ten. But I guess when they separated by ounces, you never know.

 

side note: I just canceled my subscription to Ike’s channel. 
enough is enough. 
grow up.

The biggest thing about the scheduling that stinks for me is that MLF BPT is at SLR this week.    

 

There are so many cool and exciting fisheries in the north, I understand the need to go to places that pay BASS to show up, but at least put a few wildcards in the schedule each year.

 

There is no place I want to see the Elite Series go more than Cayuga.   I'd love to see them go back to the Mississippi River as well.     

 

 

Agree on the Mississippi

LaCrosse is a stunning location and there’s so much water to fish. Spring time would be better than midsummer though. Early to mid June.

Wes Logan gives update on boat accident               https://www.bassmaster.com/top-video/video/wes-logan-gives-update-on-boat-accident/

Robertson appears to be jig fishing around docks 

How have I not seen a pike yet ??? 

Oh what I would give to catch these cookie cutter 3 lb smallmouths all day…

Steve Kennedy is so funny, I love the dude, I swear he just keeps saying I’m not sure I haven’t been paying attention! He’s said it like 3 or 4 times in like 10 minutes 😂🤣😂 truthfully he’s probably my favorite fisherman on the tour. He’s just a positive fisherman and the absolute polar opposite of Ike .
